{"product_id":"essential-parfums-bois-imperial-eau-de-parfum-sample","title":"Essential Parfums Bois Impérial Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuentin Bisch composed Bois Impérial for Essential Parfums as a woody Eau de Parfum whose subject is contrast. Basil from Thailand and Timut pepper from Nepal set a green, peppery edge against vetiver, Georgywood and Indonesian patchouli. Strong woody perfumes behave quite differently from one skin to the next, so a sample is the sensible first step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThai basil, Timut pepper absolute (Nepal), Haitian vetiver oil, Georgywood, Petalia, Akigalawood, Indonesian patchouli oil, Ambrofix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBasil and pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the start you find Thai basil and a Nepalese Timut pepper absolute. Expect something green and herbal from the basil and a dry, lively crackle from the pepper, a fresh start that is a little unexpected for a woody perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVetiver and Georgywood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaitian vetiver oil and Georgywood form the woody middle, which the brand calls cedar-toned, meaning dry and upright, not sweet. Petalia sits alongside them as a named material, so the heart stays clean and structured instead of soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePatchouli twice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base brings Akigalawood, which the brand traces back to patchouli through upcycling, next to Indonesian patchouli oil and Ambrofix. Patchouli therefore appears in two guises, dark and earthy. Nothing listed points to vanilla or fruit, so the drydown stays dry and woody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCooler days give the woods room, though the fresh spice also suits a bright morning. Try it at work one day and at dinner another. Put a little on skin, wait for the basil and pepper to step back, then check whether the patchouli stays enjoyable or takes over. A strong perfume often needs less than you expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade for people who like woods dry and structured and who enjoy patchouli as long as it stays in check. The house calls it unisex. When woods with a lot of vanilla feel too sweet to you, this leaner, spice-edged take may fit better, and a sample lets you find out for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Essential Parfums Bois Impérial as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ingredient list is short and specific, which makes the character easy to describe but harder to imagine, above all the patchouli. Our 10 ml decant is filled by FragranceGems from the original 100 ml bottle and labelled by us; it is not a sample made by Essential Parfums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it a fresh or a dark perfume?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth in turn. Basil and Timut pepper give a fresh, green start, then vetiver, Georgywood and patchouli bring dry, dark wood, with no sweet note in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho composed it?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuentin Bisch. He centred the perfume on Akigalawood, a natural material that the brand links to patchouli and to biotechnology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it an Eau de Parfum?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, Essential Parfums lists Bois Impérial as an Eau de Parfum. The full bottle holds 100 ml, while this decant holds 10 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Essential Parfums","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693367328922,"sku":"DG-EPA-BOIS-IMPERIAL-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693367361690,"sku":"DG-EPA-BOIS-IMPERIAL-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693331677338,"sku":"DG-EPA-BOIS-IMPERIAL-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/essential-parfums-bois-imperial-eau-de-parfum-sample.jpg?v=1791395726","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/essential-parfums-bois-imperial-eau-de-parfum-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
